Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Tricia Tellez

You can use your favorite chocolate chip recipe for this and follow the same steps for baking if you want.  Here is a simple recipe that I used, that turned out really yummy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Start preheating the oven to about 375 degrees. Use 6 coals on bottom, 22 on top.  Cream together shortening, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Fill a pie tin or as I used, a cake pan with the cookie dough to make on giant cookie. Place the pan on a few rocks in the dutch oven to keep it from burning on the bottom.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown.  As the coals burn down just add more cooking time or light some more coals part way through.
